The chatbot is powered by xAI's proprietary large language model, Grok-0, boasting 33 billion parameters, surpassing the capabilities of ChatGPT based on the GPT 3.5 language model (free version).


Controversies Surrounding Grok's Launch


Since its introduction in the US, Grok has faced controversy. In one instance, when asked to roast Elon Musk, Grok, true to its rebellious nature, referred to Musk as a 'delicate flower' and questioned various aspects of his actions, including his obsession with 'x' and the changes made to X since its acquisition last year.


Addressing Political Concerns

Some users have raised concerns about Grok not aligning with Musk's political views. Responding to criticism, Musk acknowledged the issue and stated that immediate steps are being taken to make Grok more politically neutral.
